lM PROVEMENT IN SLO P-J'ARS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 223,185, dated December 30, 1879 application filed November 17, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAURICE STRANsKY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Slop-Jars, of which the following is a specification.

Figure l is a plan view of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation taken through the line 00 m, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to furnish slop-jars so constructed as to prevent spatterin g when liquids are poured into them, and to prevent odors from escaping into the room.

A represents the body of the slop-jar, to the bottom of which is attached a foot, B, in the usual way. To the upper edge of the body A is attached the outer edge of a breast, C. To the inner edge of the breast G is secured the lower edge of the top flange, D, which is made in about the shape of a wash-bowl, so that it may serve as a funnel to conduct the slops into the jar, and as a guard to prevent the slops from spattering the wall and carpet when poured into the jar.

The top flange, D, may be made more or less flaring and more or less concaved or dished, as the taste of the maker or the buyer may require.

The foot B, body A, breast O, and top flange, D, are formed and put together in the usual way of making sheet-metal vessels.-

To the inner edge of the top flange, D, is hinged the cover E, which is made to fit snugly into the mouth of thejar, as shown in Fig. 2, so that it may prevent odors from escaping from the jar into the room. By this construction, also, the cover E can not be lost or mislaid, and is not so liable to be bruised or bent, so that it will not fit snugly as covers which are made detachable in the usual way. The cover E is provided with a loop or knob, F, for convenience in opening it.

To the sides of the body A are attached handles for convenience in handling and carrying it.

The slop-jar may be used as a chamber-pail, if desired, and may be provided with a bail for convenience in carrying it.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent As an improved article of manufacture, a slop-jar constructed as herein shown and described, consisting of a body, A, foot B, and breast 0, having a top flange, D, provided with a hinged cover, E, attached to the breast O, as set forth.

MAURICE STBANSKY.
